When and why/how did you stop getting soakers? Asking for a friend

I no longer walk to school! When I walk into a store or into work I always watch where I step, regardless of the season or the weather. I’m especially cautious walking around my back yard after a rain!

Yes I guess once you learn to tell the signs of thin ice, soakers are rare... but now in tropics I get soakers being adult! Sometimes deep water is hard to notice or there is no route around a puddle. Maybe these are not really soakers (no ice involved) but I like the word

Just go hiking in the spring.

Got a soaker in April when I stepped on some snow that has hiding a deep puddle on a trail.
